Dr. Ross R. Melvin, D.O. is an Interventional Cardiologist with board certifications from the American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine in Interventional Cardiology, Cardiovascular Disease, and Internal Medicine, with additional certifications in Nuclear Cardiology and Adult Echocardiography. He is a member of the American College of Cardiology, the American Medical Association, Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions, and the American Osteopathic Association.
He holds two Bachelor of Science degrees in Physiology and Psychology from Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan and graduated with honors from the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine in East Lansing, Michigan. Dr. Melvin completed a residency in internal medicine at Metropolitan Health Hospital in Wyoming, Michigan and completed a cardiology fellowship at St. John Macomb-Oakland Hospital in Macomb, Michigan. His fellowship in interventional cardiology was completed at St. John Hospital and Medical Center in Detroit, Michigan. He also completed an Advanced Endovascular Interventional fellowship at the Cardiovascular Institute of the South in Louisiana.
Dr. Melvin sees patients with general cardiology needs and provides interventional care for those with coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease. He also specializes in limb salvage and below the knee vascular interventions in addition to deep and superficial vein therapies. He has privileges at both Ascension Sacred Heart Bay and Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center.
Dr. Melvin is originally from Michigan but began his professional practice in Louisiana. His brother and father are also cardiologists with his brother in practice nearby. Frequent visits to our area sparked his interest in moving to Panama City. He and his wife and three kids are looking forward to being closer to their uncle, aunt and cousins and enjoying the Florida beach life. In his spare time, Dr. Melvin enjoys watching his Michigan State University Spartans play football and basketball, fishing, hiking, and spending time with family.

Dr Melvin is the best in my opinion. He explains everything so you have complete understanding. I trust him to look after my cardio needs!
My experience with Dr. Melvin Ross was extremely disappointing. As a new patient transferring patient, I expected a more thorough and thoughtful approach to my care. Instead, the visit felt rushed, dismissive, and unprofessional. When I asked questions about visceral fat, inflammation, calcium scoring, and insulin resistance, I was not taken seriously. Rather than addressing how these factors impact heart health, he repeatedly stated that he is “just a cardiologist” and redirected me to other providers, including a hematologist and my primary care physician. He also blatantly stated that it’s easier to just manage medication, which was very concerning to hear as a patient seeking answers about my health. What was concerning to me is this: how can a cardiologist effectively treat a patient without considering how the rest of the body is functioning? The body operates as an integrated system in which multiple organs work together to maintain overall function.
Great Dr. very caring and loves his job.

Kind and friendly nature and especially informative about my heart’s status. Christy, Dr Melvin’s nurse goes the extra mile with her care and patience for her patients. They are an exceptional DR/Nurse pair and have brought both my husband and me to a healthy health. Highly recommend The Heart Institute . Front office and techs are very accommodating and skillled at their jobs.
Great Doctor!
